I wasn't reading a lot.. and now I am. It's bringing up a lot of un-read book guilt and this is what it looks like. I am nearly done with Perelandra by C.S. Lewis after reading a whole lot of it on the plane back from California this evening and so I know decision-making time is nigh.

I don't actually have access to three of these books right now, but I have so many I should have already read, this should not be an issue. I think I'm on a fiction kick and so many of these are not that... the poor non-fiction books are gathering dust.

Once upon a time You Look Nice Today, greatest podcast on the planet that they never update anymore but it's okay I still love them, had a podcast called "The Good Part" in which they explain the modern problem of loving a song and wanting your loved ones to love the part you love while trying to keep their attention until the good part comes up. By just making a clip of the 'good part,' you can bypass this inconvenience of modern times and my brain thought it was a good experiment to try out, by way of re-introducing myself to GarageBand.

Once upon a time at University of Portland I took a Soviet Russia class. (You would not believe how many hammers and sickles I drew in the margins.) It was a genuinely great class and we watched a series of incredibly informative videos, including one in which a soldier said that the day he finally got shoes was the best day of his life. Anyway, one of these videos focused on the USSR talking to other red-minded countries, and there was some old footage of Fidel Castro. It turns out he looks a lot like Liam Neeson.

A few weeks ago I finally submitted a picture comparing Liam Neeson to Fidel Castro. I wasn't sure if they would do anything with it, but it is now a legitimate thing on the internet. Yay!
